Discussion:

1. If you were the citizens there, what would you do? Would you join in the demonstration, or would you rather try to solve the problem in other ways? Why?
2.What should we do to protect our nature and planet? How about the factories and the government?
What do you think are facts and what are opinions?
It may be difficult to separate facts and opinions, but the text seems to make clear that the facts are:
1. A group of about ninety people gathered outside a factory.
2. The group was demonstrating outside the factory.
3. The meeting ended when the police (or possibly people from the factory) arrived.
